The American Museum of Natural History is absolutely incredible! There’s so much to explore that you could easily spend an entire day here and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. The exhibits are fascinating, from the massive dinosaur fossils to the stunning displays on the ocean and outer space. The museum is clean, well-organized, and truly brings science to life in the most exciting way. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there are tons of interactive features that make it fun for all ages. The planetarium show was a highlight — breathtaking visuals and a really cool learning experience.

The crew was excellent. The music was really good and perfectly appropriate for the boat ride. Our tour guide Darius was the best. He really knew his history and was very friendly, very funny, and helpful, and best of all, he was an excellent singer and he sang "New York, New York" perfectly at the end of the tour on the way back to the pier!

We had planned to go, but I didn't purchase tickets ahead of time because I wasn't sure if we'd change our minds. So I bought the tickets through headout while we were outside the venue. Everything was seamless, and the museum itself was amazing. We had to leave before we could see all of it. So we will definitely be back. Thank you!

    The museum was great. I was disappointed that I didn't book directly with the museum. I had to stand in an extremely long line to redeem my head out vouchers. I thought I was booking directly with the museum on line. Won't do that again.
